School uniforms were primarily a Brittish idea until they came to the United States in the 1990's, ever since there has been a debate over their neccesity(ArticleBase). A uniform is a distinctive outfit intended to identify those who wear it as members of a specific group(ArticleBase). School uniforms are mainly used in private and boarding schools. They “help maintain school discipline”, decrease fighting between students, and are helpful for “those who can’t afford name brand clothes are often sensitive about their clothing” (ArticleBase). School uniforms should be mandatory for all schools because they create more discipline in school, decrease crime, and cost less for families(ArticleBase). In conclusion school uniforms have practicly no negitives and there is no reason not to use them.
